The Heart in Hand – Domed Paperweight by John Derian brings a beloved historic motif to life through his signature decoupage craft. Handmade to order in his New York studio, each piece begins with a reproduction from Derian’s extensive archive of antique and vintage prints. Trained artisans then carefully cut, arrange, and collage the imagery beneath handblown glass, creating a luminous, jewel-like object that magnifies every detail.
Featuring an outstretched hand holding a heart — a symbol of friendship, generosity, and affection — this paperweight offers both function and beauty for the desk, shelf, or bedside. A thoughtful gift and a collectible work of craftsmanship.
Size: 8.9 x12.7cm. Handmade in New York City.
Material: Collaged paper beneath handblown glass
